Walk along the ruins of Echizen moat!

[Hikoharu Co., Ltd.] Nov. 11, 2018 14:00


Echizen moat was a moat surrounding the Matsudaira Echizen Mamoru Nakayashiki in the Fukui Domain, and was built with bridges such as Kaijo Bridge and Sakae Bridge. This time, we are planning to walk around the ruins of Echizen moat. At the current address, start from Shinkawa 1-chome along the Sumida River, cross the Echizenbori Children's Park, cross the Akimasa Elementary School diagonally, go along Yaesu-dori toward Tsukuda near Shinkawa 2-chome, and join the Sumida River again. It becomes.

It will be a start from the vicinity of the right bank of Shinkawa in the previous project. Even now, there was an apartment where the place name of Echizenbori was left. It seems that Echizen moat had passed through the premises of this apartment.

And when you cross Kajibashi Street, you will see Echizenbori Children's Park on your left.

Echizenbori changes the direction to the south in this park and heads to Akimasa Elementary School.

In Echizenbori Children's Park, there are information boards for the ruins of Echizen moat and stone walls that have actually been excavated.

Then, break diagonally in the school grounds of Akimasa Elementary School and proceed along Yaesu-dori toward Tsukuda.

At the intersection of Shinkawa 2-chome, there was Echizenbori Pharmacy, which claims to be "Echizenbori".

This Echizenbori Pharmacy is a pharmacy with a history of starting a drugstore in 1923 (1923).

In the planting in front of the shop, there was an explanation board of "Echizenbori no Machiishi".

In front of you, you can see the apartments of Chuo-ohashi Bridge and River City 21.

Now, Tsukuda is in front of you.

Like last time, traces of Echizen moat could not be found.

And now, the address display of "Echizenbori" has disappeared, but it was barely left with the park name, apartment name, and store name, and I was able to discover it.

Even so, the Daimyo residence in the Edo period was big! I felt like walking around the city.
